It is a bit unreal that the "top" sports columnist at the Enquirer claims to be a non-biased observer of the home club, then writes this piece, whereby he CLEARLY states his unending loyalty to a division rival.

How can anybody take his opinion on the Reds seriously? (and not just talking about his surface knowledge of the game)...

Anyway, that really was nauseating. I'd hope some of his regular facebook commenters on the Enquirer site would start taking him behind the woodshed. Really wouldn't be a difficult task, but I agree with others that said they won't give him the clicks/hits/views that his trolling so begs for.

Paul has never denied that he is a Pirates and Redskins fan. He talks about the Pirates almost daily in his blog.

Re: Pretty Good Insight

A lot of folks in here are clearly enjoying a large portion of hater-tots, and washing them down with some ice cold Hater-ade.

I'd like to match Doc's last 10k words in print with anyone's last 10,000 words here at RedsZone who is bashing him.

Like going to a concert and bashing the band....even though you don't play.
And the singer is terrible... you don't sing though.
And at the comedy club, you heckle the comedian...never told a funny joke in your life though.
And that movie you saw last week? Worst movie ever.

Re: Pretty Good Insight

I'm not trying to defend Paul here, but he's not writing the day to day articles about the reds, outside his blog. He's the written version of a radio guy [which incidentally he wasn't very good at either], he's just a guy who tries to get people talking. He doesn't need to like the Reds, root for the Reds, or really know much below the surface of the Reds to incite the occasional verbal riot.

Brian Stull ‏@StullySTL 55m Just witnessed Brandon Phillips go off in CIN clubhouse, not pleased w some media members

Brian Stull ‏@StullySTL 41m BP took exception to question of his OBP/what he felt was negative coverage Said his peace but then crashed Dusty's presser for more f-bombs

Well, for sure Doc isn't there. He barely goes to GABP.

BP must be hacked at one of the mild mannered dudes (Fay, Sheldon) who cover the Reds and ask no difficult questions, because Dusty gets mad. Which means BP is feeling pressure, same as Dusty last night. Next thing we know, Joey Votto will be throwing gum wrappers violently into garbage cans. Oh, the horror.

Critics...

I don't have to write a book to be able to critique one pretty well...I am a competent and capable reader. Your inference that unless I am able to write prose I cannot tell good prose from doggerel doesn't wash. At all. In fact it is silly. Same for music. The funny thing is I do paint in oils and it is, of all things, what I feel least qualified to criticize others in: the art form I practice most myself.

Re: Pretty Good Insight

I haven't read a Paul Daugherty article in at least 10 years and I am not about to start now. He is the worst of the worst and has been for eons. Every single one of his columns is pure drivel.

His article over the weekend on former Bengal great and Disney Sports VP Reggie Williams and his battle to save his right leg was old style excellent journalism. I would suggest reading that one and ignoring the author's name at the top of the page.
